"Converting from AAC to Apple Lossless used a relatively trivial amount of CPU. The theory was that Apple *designed* Apple Lossless in order to make the conversion efficient from an algorithmic perspective which allows for efficient transcoding on playback. I'm not sure the same is true of FLAC. It seems slow to convert, let alone transcode. There's no important difference here. Sure, it takes time and processing power to convert *to* FLAC. But who cares? By design, it is extremely fast to convert *from* FLAC; that's why it is possible to play a FLAC file directly (i.e., the [playback] conversion is much, much, much faster than the real-time that elapses during play)."

Is there a way around this w/o going to an external package? For example, is there any way to tether an iPhone for this purpose? How about putting your Mac into Firewire Target Mode and booting to it from the Mac with the camera? Then you could capture the sig into your own system, avoiding the security issues."
